Afterward, as though he had timed it precisely, Wei Tu waited for less than half an hour before immediately shooting out from the cliff. He crossed the spatial barrier separating the Corpse Immortal Cave from the Sacred Emperor's Tomb and plunged straight into those... cave tombs that had emerged upon the rock walls following the manifestation of Corpse Immortal Embracing the Moon.
Yet at the very instant he passed through that spatial barrier—
The soft chant of the Corpse Immortal Ancient Song instantly flooded his mind once more, wildly crushing his soul and obliterating it inch by inch...
At the same time, Corpse Immortal Embracing the Moon, one of the Three Absolute Calamities alongside the Corpse Immortal Ancient Song, revealed its divine might.
His body involuntarily twisted to an extreme degree, as though invaded by some nameless law. His waist and spine snapped apart, and amid resounding crack-crack explosions, he bent backward like a drawn bow, his front and back pressed tightly together as he assumed an eerie posture of worship toward the Corpse Immortal phantom.
Yet at this moment, Wei Tu, a Mahayana cultivator and a seventh-rank body refiner, did not resist. Instead, he obediently allowed himself to be tamed by this law...
Not until the densely packed white skeletons within the cave tombs sensed his presence, their rigid bodies slowly stirring as they flew and crawled toward him one after another!
Riiip—
Soon, amid the silent and eerie atmosphere, this abrupt sound rang out for no apparent reason.
The instant these white skeletons touched Wei Tu's dharma body, his bow-folded body immediately straightened again, radiating the five-colored brilliance unique to the Five Elements Law.
With a flicker of spiritual light, it effortlessly pierced through the terrifying law that had wrapped around Wei Tu and forced him into worship.
